CHARGING

Your Volvo is equipped with an electric motor that mainly drives

the car at low speeds, as well as an internal combustion engine

that drives the car at higher speeds and for more active driving. The

charging time of the hybrid battery depends on the charging cur-

rent that the socket can supply. The hybrid battery is also charged

during smooth braking or engine braking, e.g. on a downhill gradi-

ent. All charging types are indicated in the driver display.

Storing the charging cable

The charging cable is stored in the storage compartment on the

right-hand side of the cargo area.

Control unit on the charging cable

The enclosed charging cable is equipped with a control unit that

shows the charging status. It supports temperature monitoring and

has a built-in ground fault breaker.

Starting charging

The starter battery is charged when the hybrid battery is charged,

and charging is terminated when the hybrid battery is fully charged.

1. Connect the charging cable to a socket. Never use an extension

cable.

1. Open the charging hatch with a gentle push.

2.Remove the charging handle's protective cover and then press

the handle the whole way into the socket for the car. The charg-

ing cable is locked automatically into the charging input socket

and charging starts within 5 seconds.

3.Position the charging handle's protective cover so that it does

not touch the car in order to avoid damage to the paintwork.

Finishing charging

1. Unlock the car with the remote control key's

button

4

. Charg-

ing is finished and the charging cable releases/is unlocked.

2.Detach the charging cable from the car.

3.Close the charging hatch.

4.Detach the charging cable from the socket.

5.Return the charging cable to the storage compartment on the

right-hand side of the cargo area.

If the charging cable is not unplugged from the charging input

socket it is locked automatically again a short time after unlocking

to maximise charging and range as well as to allow preconditioning

before departure. The charging cable can be unplugged again if the

car is unlocked with the remote control key. For cars with keyless

locking/unlocking*, you can lock and lock with the handle again.

This must also be done if the car doors are already unlocked. If the car is not unlocked using

the unlock button, damage may be caused to the charging cable or the system.

HYBRID INFORMATION IN THE DRIVER

DISPLAY

A number of symbols and animations are shown in the driver dis-

play depending on drive mode selected.

Electricity and fuel consumption are shown in the gauge on the

right. The consumption varies depending on driving style. When

the thin white pointer passes the white arrow at the top, the car is

changed over to the internal combustion engine. When the pointer

is in the orange-coloured zone, the battery is being charged, e.g.

during braking.

Distance to empty battery

The indicator shows the approximate distance to empty bat-

tery. The distance is affected by several factors, e.g. driving

style, speed and outside temperature, and may vary during

the journey. Normally you can expect a range of 2545 km

(1527 miles). The start value shown when the car is fully

charged indicates an "up-to" figure rather than a forecast for

the range and is adapted during the journey. No guaranteed

range on electrical operation remains when the driver display

shows ”---”.

Symbols in the driver display

An all-white symbol indicates whether the electric motor or

the engine is being used. A lightning bolt indicates electric

motor, a drop indicates internal combustion engine.

Indicates that the battery is being charged, e.g. during engine

braking.

The gauge shows how much energy is available in the battery

for the electric motor. The energy is also used for the climate

control.

Shows that the Charge or Hold functions are activated. They

are activated from the centre display's function view. Charge

means that the hybrid battery is charged when the state of

charge is low.

Hold means that the battery level is maintained

for later use.

Starting and stopping the internal combustion engine

The car calculates the extent of the need to use the internal com-

bustion engine, electric motor or both simultaneously. During elec-

trical operation, the car may sometimes need to start the internal

combustion engine automatically due to external circumstances,

e.g. in low outside temperatures. The internal combustion engine

always starts when the hybrid battery reaches its lowest state of

charge.

02

POWER* FRONT SEATS

Use the controls on the outer side of the seat to adjust e.g. the seat

position and lumbar support*. The two controls shaped like a seat

are used to adjust the position of the seat. The third, multifunction
